For buyers who want to live in the heart of the bustling North York corridor without compromising downtown style, Aristo is the answer. This stunning new condominium from Tridel will offer the quality finishes and iconic architecture that the savviest condo buyers crave — paired with a convenient “M2” postal code.

Aristo is designed for the young professional who works uptown or in North York and desires a modern urban lifestyle — but isn’t prepared to compromise taste for convenience of location,” says Jim Ritchie, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Tridel.

Situated at the heart of North York and part of the established Avonshire community on Oakburn Crescent, Aristo will offer ready access to the major transportation arteries of Yonge Street and the 401, plus a convenient rush-hour subway shuttle, for easy transportation in all directions. However, with an abundance of shopping, restaurants and entertainment as well as North York’s business core just around the corner, Aristo’s residents may prefer to stay closer to home.



Rising like a post-modernist, art deco-inspired crystal, this 21-storey structure would look at home amongst Toronto’s chicest boutique condos. Small wonder: the building is designed by award-winning Kirkor Architects, known for their work on other Tridel landmark communities such as Blythwood at Huntington and One Old Mill.

Inside Aristo, the sense of drama continues with an expansive, two-storey lobby and a 24-hour concierge to welcome residents and guests. “The interior design is by Munge Leung Design, famous for their work in downtown’s hottest, VIP nightclubs and restaurants,” says Ritchie. With the sense of event apparent both outside and inside the building, Aristo is destined to become the most desireable address amongst North York’s young and fashionable.

The building’s impressive array of amenities are designed to help the busy professional achieve that elusive but all-important goal of work–life balance. The Urban Spa & Fitness Centre boasts the latest cardio and strength training equipment, a yoga studio, a co-ed sauna and steam room and hot and cold plunge pools. Residents can arrange for professional services such as massage and shiatsu in one of the private treatment rooms and for the ultimate in at-home pampering there’s even a mani-pedi room.

On the social scene, Aristo will boast a high-energy entertainment complex featuring two luxe party lounges, a dining room, bar and billiards room plus a beautifully landscaped outdoor Terrace Lounge. All common areas are Munge Leung–designed, promising sophisticated style as a backdrop for all leisure pursuits.

In the suites, too, Aristo pulls out all the stops, with the quality finishes and contemporary design Tridel is known for.

Kitchens present clean-lined cabinetry with low-profile or integrated appliances and a choice of quartz or granite counters and backplash to create a sleek, urban vibe. The spa-inspired bathrooms offer a retreat from the world, with generously proportioned, square-edged soaker tubs, frameless glass showers and sleek white cultured marble vanity tops.

These intelligently designed suites feature an open-plan layout to create a sense of spaciousness. They range in size from 467 sq. ft. to more than 943 sq. ft. and come in 1-bedroom plus den and 2-bedroom configurations. All suites feature individual metering of electricity, hot water, heating and cooling and a personal in-suite intrusion alarm system.

To showcase the suites, Munge Leung is creating an inspired Sales Pavillion that opens in March. Visitors will experience the Aristo vibe while previewing a wide selection of suites and finishes.

Aristo is an energy efficient and environmentally friendly condominium — a LEED® candidate, registered with the Canada Green Building Council to pursue certification by the LEED® Green Building Rating System, the most recognized certification system for high performance “green” buildings in North America.
